nitro finish bass body?

[hectorUK]

I have always liked the look of battered and aged guitars and have i like the idea of having a bass that i had worn down naturally myself. it seems that with the poly finishes just dont wear down the same way nitro finishes. I have just got a 2010 jazz bass and i have been trying to find a nitro finished body online but havent had any luck. anyome know where i can get one?

Another option is to buy a bare wood body (plenty of those around) and drop it into a spray shop like Martin Sims

If you keep plugging away on Google and eBay you'll find something eventually

Get a blank and finish, or get an existing one, strip and refin

Any idea what he would charge for a straightforward spray job where the body is already prepared?

If you want it to relic back, surely you don’t want a very pro finish on it, is it not better to spend £10-20 On a ratttle cam from Dartfords?

You can still achieve a high quality finish with these if you want

I got that, but tried to cover both angles saying that you can get a great finish with a can too

Sorry, Brig, not a clue. Best give them a bell, spec out your needs and presumably they'll give you a price.
